I left being a COBOL programmer back around the turn of the century because American ones were billing out at $75 -$100 an hour and the indian ones were billing at $17. I needed to do something that they couldn’t do. Something communication intensive.
I’ve been a Business Analyst ever since.
Even then, I could not compete with the insular Indian invasion - they froze out the old staff.
Now that's racist!
This is what the open borders hills will never understand, India has like a billion people and since their country is exactly the kind of sh-thole Trump says it is and they all know it, there are who knows how many hundreds of millions willing to work for near slave wages just for the faint hope of a green card. Open borders leads to nothing more than slavery for the country that actually has its act together as its salaries and thus its people are undermined by the flood of slaves craved by the big business cheap labor traitors like Zuckerberg and the Chamber of Commerce.
